Buick Introduces New Excelle Sedan for Its Chinese Vehicle Lineup

By now, it should be abundantly clear that sedans simply aren’t attracting as many American motorists as they used to, with drivers opting for crossovers and SUVs instead. In response, both Ford and FCA have practically eliminated their passenger car lineups, with GM rumored to soon follow suit.

One market that hasn’t given up on sedans is China. In fact, Buick recently unveiled a new sedan for the Chinese market: the 2018 Buick Excelle.

The Buick Excelle is set to be smaller than other compact cars in GM’s lineup, like the Chevrolet Cruze. It also has a smaller wheelbase than the Verano, at 102.8 inches compared to the Verano’s 105.7 inches.

As China is currently Buick’s largest and most lucrative market, it makes sense to see new models being added to the automaker’s lineup there. It seems that as many markets begin to abandon passenger cars and sedans, China is quickly becoming one of the last places where new models of such vehicles are introduced.
